E-bike retrofit DIY - sources?

I normally thumb my nose at those lazy rider e-bike contraptions BUT I'm brainstorming a bike designed to haul 100+ pounds up significant grades and my legs will need a little help.

Anyone know of a good in hub motor that I could retrofit an existing bike with?
I can source a battery on my own so thats not a problem.






If anyone is interested in my plan, I'm going to be building a bike trailer fashioned with mounts to carry several other bikes. I will be making frequent trips to the county dump and recycling site collecting discarded bicycles so they can be refurbished and released back into the community as usable means of transportation
